Richard - <250 X 5000 = 1,250,000 K7 already done?> Yep. It's that easy! Amazing! A new polisher and .18 and AMD has 1M units in the warehouse! And 250 dpw would put yields at >90%! See how easy this is? PB

Richard, <5,000 wafers polished> More realistically these were 0.25 wafers. The Acehardware just hopes too much. Regards, - Ali

Richard, I doubt seriously that AMD is getting 130 K7s per wafer.

Richard - Re: "so the last line reads at least more than 5,000 K7 wafers are made in 0.18um process already. :" You and ACE Hardware are completely out of your league. When a new piece of equipment is QUALIFIED - as indicated in the LAM press release - TEST WAFERS are used for the qualification to test the machines effectiveness, uptime, etc. Only a SUICIDE JOCKEY would run PRODUCTION WAFERS on a BRAND NEW, UNQUALIFIED MACHINE. Even AMD wouldn't be THAT STUPID. (Or would they ?) Thus, that BOZO's assumptions about 5000 0.18 micron K7 wafers is completely BOGUS. Paul
